part of the world-renowned and celebrated

brass and stringed instruments, as well as
many Others of less value. Reference has
now been made to Mr.. Hammers display
in general way. We now court the at
tentiOn of the musical public, and ask
| them to visit, not only the collection of
| musical instruments at the Exposition
Building, but to call at the store and ware
rooms, $50 J street, and examine more par
| ticularly into the merits of the famous
Chickering d Sons pianos. Without boast
ing, or making idle use of words, we say
that they are second TO none in the world
This conclusion is not drawn from the ex-
perience Of o month or year, but is a con-
clusion ripely formed after many wears of
the most severest test; one which to-day
stands a croNning triumph.
